I'm glad that some people don't want this place to turn into another honda site with a bunch of useless posts :thumb: I'm with you 100%

If you do feel the need to post whore, take it to the Junk Yard :woot:

- Tue Feb 10, 2009 4:53 am #95419 I feel the same way. I tend to jump on a few times a day and each time I usually look through each new thread but lately its been crazy. I do like seeing more post dont get me wrong. I say take it to the junk yard rather than posting something useless in somebody's thread about something they need help with.

Civic-eg is an awesome site full of good info and awesome people. having random spam everywhere would ruin that.

- Tue Feb 10, 2009 1:18 pm #95454 the way i see it is there are certain threads we can let our hair down... like the post something about the user above you thread... everyone just posts random shit in there and it can get quite entertaining sometimes :lol:


but i agree when it comes to tech threads... a member with a serious problem looking for a serious reply! threads like that, if you dont have a decent answer or any help for the member then stay out of the thread... simple.
